An Increase in Male Recombination Rate With Age in Dairy Cattle Is Heritable and Polygenic

Journal of Animal Breeding and Genetics, Volume 143, Issue 1, Page 35-49, January 2026.
ABSTRACT Meiotic recombination is an essential process for shuffling genetic diversity in sexually reproducing organisms, can vary within and between individuals in response to intrinsic and extrinsic factors, and can be heritable. Interestingly, recombination rate has been found to vary with age in some species, but to date, there have been no ...

Optimising the Use of Cryopreserved Genetic Resources for the Selection and Conservation of Animal Populations

Journal of Animal Breeding and Genetics, Volume 143, Issue 1, Page 50-67, January 2026.
ABSTRACT Genetic diversity is essential for the sustainability and adaptability of populations, and is thus a central pillar of the agro‐ecological transition. However, within a population, it is inevitable that some amount of genetic variability is lost, and efforts must be made to limit this as much as possible.

Multi‐Breed Genomic Predictions for Average Daily Gain in Three Italian Beef Cattle Breeds

Journal of Animal Breeding and Genetics, Volume 143, Issue 1, Page 119-129, January 2026.
ABSTRACT Marchigiana, Chianina, and Romagnola are three Italian autochthonous beef cattle breeds that have been historically selected for meat production. Recent advancements suggest that the use of genomic data and multi‐breed (MB) models to combine information from different breeds may help to increase the accuracies of genomic predictions, in ...

Signature of Selection Analysis Reveals Candidate Genes Related to Climate Adaptation and Production Traits in Lao Native Goats

Journal of Animal Breeding and Genetics, Volume 143, Issue 1, Page 152-171, January 2026.
ABSTRACT Detecting selection footprints offers valuable insight into evolutionary processes and the mechanisms underlying phenotypic diversity in selected traits. Domestication, natural and artificial selection, and breeding have produced indigenous goats well‐adapted to their local environments, making them crucial genetic resources. Understanding the

Genomic Architecture of Inbreeding Depression Associated With Hatching Failure in an Endangered Parrot

Molecular Ecology, Volume 35, Issue 2, January 2026.
ABSTRACT Conservation management of endangered species increasingly relies on genomic approaches to understand how long‐term small population sizes affect the fitness of extant individuals. However, despite the growing investment in genomic resources by conservation programmes, the impact that sequencing methods have on the ability to detect inbreeding‐

Stress Nutrition in Aquatic Animals: From Definition to Practice

Reviews in Aquaculture, Volume 18, Issue 1, January 2026.
ABSTRACT Aquaculture faces numerous challenges, with stress being one of the major issues that lead to growth loss, metabolic disorders, weakened immunity, redox imbalance, and organ damage in aquatic animals. Nutritional intervention is one of the effective strategies to address these problems. Traditional research has primarily focused on the impacts

Effect of Tadalafil on Testicular Histology and Sperm Parameters in An Experimental Varicocele Model

Andrologia, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.
Objectives Varicocele is a common cause of male infertility, often associated with oxidative stress and impaired testicular blood flow. This study aimed to evaluate whether orally administered tadalafil, through its cGMP‐mediated vasodilatory and antioxidant effects, can protect against histological damage and altered sperm parameters in a rat model of

RNA‐Seq of Cultured Peripheral Blood Lymphocytes Improves Identification of Cryptic Splicing Defects in Rare Disease Diagnostics

Human Mutation, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.
Accurate identification of the genetic determinants of rare diseases is essential for effective recurrence‐risk management and informed reproductive decision‐making. Although whole‐exome sequencing (WES) and whole‐genome sequencing (WGS) have significantly improved diagnostic capabilities, a subset of affected families still receives no definitive ...
